About me and this blog

Hello world!

I'm a Python developer since 2018. At work, I work on a python project that performs some light NLP tasks that involve term frequency counting and text classification. These features are exposed through a set of APIs written using FastAPI.

I don't have a formal CS degree, and learned Python mostly on my own.

The things that I've made are all about taking open source tools and modules from other developers and glue them together to create a product. As a result, I don't have a lot of knowledge about system internals.

To make up for that, I'd like to learn rust as a gateway to understand more about system and OS internals. This is probably misguided, but I'll make corrections as I go, and blog about the journey here.

I'll start with a series of blogs that shows how to do simple things in rust. Each blog will start a Python 3 code snippet, followed by the equivalent code in rust.
